Transmission – Free WordPress Theme
Today we have a very special release of a feature packed, high-quality WordPress theme. You may remember over a month ago I coded and released the Simply AIO theme, originally designed by Nuvio Templates. In the comments someone expressed interest in coding their Transmission template as well. After some collaboration with Nuvio, it’s finally ready. You can see the live demo here. Download it here. Screenshot is below.
Now let’s get onto the features…
Flickr Photostream
This theme is compatible with the flickrRSS plugin. Simply install this plugin, fill out your Flickr id and how many images you want displayed, and you have the photostream visible on your homepage. It’s ideal with 5 images displayed using the thumbnails.
Don’t use Flickr? No problem, just don’t install the plugin and you won’t see anything.
Featured Homepage Image
Like the Monochrome theme, this theme uses custom fields you can use to add an optional image to your latest blog post. Simply upload the image you want to your topstory-images directory and add a custom field with topstory_image as the key, and the name of the image as the value, like this:
Homepage Post Display Control
Similar to the Imagination theme, you can control how many posts are displayed on the homepage through an options page within your WordPress administration panel. It looks like this:
As you can see, you can control how many pages are displayed on the left side, and how many on the right.
Widget-ready
The Transmission theme has a fully widgetized sidebar. This includes the search box, as well as the Feeds section, so you have complete control over the sidebar.
8 Different Styles
I guess we saved the best for last? This free download comes with 8 different styles to choose from. Don’t have a favorite color? Just use the AIO (all-in-one) version to have a dynamic style switcher on your site where visitors can choose their preferred style. You can see the live demo of the AIO version in action here.
That’s about it. Feel free to comment if you like the theme. I have to ask all support related questions be asked in the Transmission support forum where I’ll try to personally answer all support questions. Enjoy!
Note: This theme is also available on the WordPress Themes page at NuvioTemplates.com where you can download specific color styles separately if you wish.
Another Note: Don’t try to install the download available here at Theme Lab with OneClick or any other automated theme installer, because it’s not going to work with all the separate color styles included in the package.

Looking for web hosting?
Question: What's the best type of web hosting?
Answer: The kind you don't have to worry about.
And that's precisely why I recommend HostGator. I've been using them myself for years and they've been nothing short of superb.
Fast load times, great support, WordPress-friendly, and good prices. Not much more you can ask for.
New customers can get 25% off of any HostGator web hosting package with the coupon: themelab25percentoff
Note: I am a HostGator affiliate, but that doesn't make my recommendation any less genuine.
A great theme, thanks for sharing useful tips
Excellent Theme! But one problem is there. Plugins for any Flash Galleries doesn’t work with this Theme ((( I’ve checked other Themes on the same hosting, with the same version of WordPress. Everything works fine. Only Theme Transmission doesn’t work with any Flash Galleries Plugins. This was done intentionally, or is it a bug in the code?
Just a quick note – downloads not working for this theme.
@Joe: Can you elaborate? What happens when you try to download the theme? You could try this link too: http://www.themelab.com/download/33/
Both are the same file.
Using free download mgr with FF: connects but no download.
I see, thanks for alerting me to this. I use FDM as well and you’re right, it doesn’t work with that enabled. This must be due to the Download Manager plugin used on here to track the downloads. Could you temporarily disable FlashGot and download it normally?
OK – got it. For some reason the free download manager doesn’t like this site. Turned it off and it worked fine.
Okay, that’s what I thought the problem was. Glad you got it working.

Great great theme! Thanks for the job!
It also works perfectly in 2.5 RC1: http://blog.clubopera.com/
@Fabino: Looks great! I think there’s something wrong with the subpages though. The sidebar doesn’t seem to display properly on the right.
Yes ;-(
Problem here: link
There is the theme in 2.5 RC1 with the same problem: http://www.jobalternative.net/blog/?cat=7
Not sure why the problem would be on 2.5 RC1 only but I’ll look into this.
Okay, I was able to reproduce the problem on posts/pages that required a user to be logged in to comment. Basically I just forgot a closing div. The updated comments.php file can be downloaded here.
I’m really not sure what to tell you on the category archives, but there must be some extra div tag somewhere in the post content. I don’t think this is a problem with the theme, considering other archive pages on your site seem to display fine.

Hello Leland,
I really like your theme.
I have a few question and I hope you can help me out.
1. How do I enable posters to insert images on their comments?
2. How do insert the ‘Subscribe to comments via email’ code?
3. How to insert ‘reply to this comment’ code?
I truly appreciate your help on this matter…
1. You mean Gravatars? I go over that in this post.
2. That’s a plugin called “Subscribe to Comments”
3. That’s a plugin called “Brian’s Threaded Comments”
Hope this helps.
I need some help to identify this error.

Happens every time I write a new post
Thanks
@Jeremiah: I’m aware of this issue. This is a problem with the functions.php file and space between the <? ?>, specifically on lines 17 and 51. I’ll correct this issue soon as it seems to be a pretty annoying bug.
Great theme! COuple of questions:
1) what are the dimensions of the image box that you can insert in the post as you mention above?
2) how do we edit the About Me text info and the “my space” verbiage? tks
One more question – how can you change the social bookmarks icons to go across the page, rather than a tall column up and down? thank you
One more ? – how can I insert an image into the box in the About section…is it to be a specific size as well? tks
in order to show the full post rather than a summary on the main page, you suggested in the forum to made an adjustment to that specific post…can you provide details? You said that was preferable to editing the home.php (I couldn’t find the term you referred to in the coding for home anyway…the word excerpt..) tks
Hi again,
I have to change my template.
But I’m still saying that Transmission AIO is cool!
@Diego: Well, thanks for letting me know! Any reason you decided to change? Or just wanted a new look? Thanks for stopping by.
@Jim: To get the image you can right click -> properties to find the dimensions.
You can edit the about text in the sidebar file.
About the social bookmarking icons, it seems you got that sorted?
On home.php, replace the_excerpt with the_content to get the full post.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Leland, I cannot find the phrase “the_excerpt” anywhere in the home.php file…..tks
oops i found it, tks
what is the code to insert image into the About Me box? i must be missing somethng, tks
People should be sharing more free things like this. Its what keeps the Internet buzzin’.
how can we insert an image into the about me box? it shows the code as a gif file, but when i insert the link to my image there I get a red x
Great thame, I use it at my site http://www.caribeasiswa.co.cc.
One thing I wanna know, why the related post plugin doesn’t work with this thame?
Thanks,
Rudi
hey leland, I still can’t get the image inserted in the about me box…can you help? tks
Sorry to be a bother, but Im going to have to change to a different theme if I can’t figure out how to get my image in the about me box. Love the theme, but need some help. tks
@Jim: Did you look in the sidebar.php file for the about me box? The code is there. I already said this above.
yes I found the About Me box in sidebar.php – and I know the location of my image, but what is the actual script I need to type into the sidebar.php file? tks
Similar issues faced by Jeremiah
